Craig is boasting her Congressional experience while Flanagan is running as more progressive on many issues. Flanagan carries the DFL endorsement and support from national progressive figures like Sens. In the Republican primary for the Senate seat, former National Football League sideline reporter Michele Tafoya is competing against former National Basketball Association player Royce White and Republican Party-endorsed newcomer Adam Schwarze. Although Schwarze received the party endorsement, he polled a distant third place in a recent KSTP-TV/Survey USA poll of Republican primary voters. While U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is running in the DFL primary for Minnesota governor, she has not resigned from her congressional seat, so there is no primary election to replace her.
